Suspension?

From the sounds of it, the WAC Commissioner is just gonna let the Nevada coach skate. He'll "look into it" but he won't stop the guy from coaching in the NCAA's. Iow, no suspension.

Must be open season on officials in the WAC.

And the police were involved too? Yikes!

Interesting...I don't understand why coaches are allowed to get away with this kind of crap...there is a West Coast Conference school whose men's team has done quite well the last few years, but whose women's team hasn't caught up to that level yet. The women's coach has pulled a few doozies lately. 1)He went nutso on a call, was T'ed by one of the officials, and after the game taped an autographed 8x10 picture of himself to the officials lockerroom door with a note attached saying "Something to remember me by, since you'll never work in this conference again." WCC commissioner did nothing...2)Was ejected from a game a few weeks ago, refused to leave, had to be escorted out by security, the entire time screaming and dropping profanities at the official who gave him the second T. Goes to locker room and calls Supervisor and proceeds to leave a profanity-laced message on her answering machine, which she plays for the commissioner - who, again, does nothing.

I really don't get it...

Well, I guess the message should have been played for the college president. *wakes up from time change induced nap*

It certainly doesn't excuse Fox's behavior, but I believe that part of the problem stems from the fact that Nevada had Gracey in 3 of its last 4 games.

@ Utah State 79-77 OT loss
Not vs. New Mexico St. at home (win)
vs. Idaho @ WAC tourney (win)
vs. Utah State @ WAC tourney 79-77 loss in regulation

BTW Gracey also worked the WAC tourney championship, so if Nevada had made the final they would have had him again.

This is part of the problem with the conference tourneys. People see too much of each other.

A coach acts like that and you think that the official was part of the problem?

I gotta tell ya, Nevada, a statement like that is just plain sad coming from any official. Freaking sad!

While Gracey had some crucial calls in some Nevada games this year, including that mess with Hawaii, I never said that he was part of the problem.

My point was...

The WAC should have done a better job in rotating its officials.

JMO.

I wonder if the cop was part of the problem too.
